- Columbo: Well, the bad news, ma'am, is that Mr. Lamarr here is going to be arrested for the murder of your husband.
- Nancy Brower: Oh, my God. Leon, how could you?
- Leon Lamarr: Ha!
- Nancy Brower: And what's the good news?
- Columbo: That you've just inherited the better part of $24 million after taxes. It wasn't Mr. Lamarr who won the lottery, it was your late husband.
- Nancy Brower: [pretending surprise] What?
- Columbo: And even though you were in the process of getting a divorce, you were still legally married at the time of the drawing.
- Nancy Brower: I get the money?
- Columbo: All of it. All of those millions.
- Leon Lamarr: It'll be a cold day in hell.
- Nancy Brower: Leon!
- Leon Lamarr: You lying, treacherous bitch, you sold ol' Leon out, didn't you? You want to see some cooperation? Girl, I'm gonna show you some cooperation.
- [to Columbo]
- Leon Lamarr: Who do you think it was pretending to be Freddie calling me from the studio that night?
- [with Nancy ranting and raving, and with Leon chuckling]
- Columbo: That's it.
- [to another officer]
- Columbo: All right, book 'em. Both of 'em.
- Columbo: [about the things the chimpanzee touched] What do these things have in common? They're all shiny, and they're all metal, just like this medallion.
